Erik Larson - 'Dead Wake' (off-site ticketed event)

Erik Larson's event has been changed from Jones Chapel to Jones Auditorium (very close to each other)! This means more room for all!

From the bestselling author and master of narrative nonfiction comes the enthralling story of the sinking of the Lusitania (now out in paperback).

The program is at Meredith College's Jones Auditorium. Doors open at 6 pm. Click here for a map of the Meredith campus. Co-sponsored by the Meredith College Friends of the Library.

This New York Times bestseller intertwines the true tale of the 1893 World's Fair and the cunning serial killer who used the fair to lure his victims to their death.
